<br /> <br />• MINUTES <br />OF THE <br />• <br />PUBLIC HEARING ON REVENUE SHARING <br />JULY 30, 1984 <br />The public hearing on revenue sharing was called to order <br />at 7:11 P.M. at the request of the City's Chief. Executive Officer, <br />City Manager Jack Owen. Mayor Pro Tem Deotis Gay presided. <br />Mr: Owen read briefly from the regulations regarding revenue <br />sharing public hearings and explained the purpose of the hearing. <br />He reported the amount of estimated funds that would be available <br />for revenue sharing is $258,718 from the Federal revenue sharing <br />fund and an estimated carryover fund balance from last year of <br />$91,282, for an estimated total of $350,000. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Gay asked if there was anyone present who would <br />like to make a proposal for the expenditure of these funds. <br />Mr. Cecil Knight of the Spenwick Addition proposed that street <br />lights into the addition be installed at several locations: <br />• Canada Road and Spencer, Clarkville and Spencer, Bayer and .Spencer, <br />Hilldale and Spencer, Andricks and Underwood, Belfast and Underwood, <br />Carlow and Underwood and Catlett and Underwood. <br />Mr. Owen stated that the City might be able to handle this <br />particular request from the other budget without resorting to <br />revenue sharing funds. <br />Mr. Gay proposed a $12,000 expenditure for Gulf Coast Community <br />Services transportation project and a television set and a piano <br />for the Jenny Riley. Civic Center. <br />Councilperson Matuszak stated he would like to see a road put <br />on the east side of the Leo Rizzuto elementary school so that <br />students living in Fairmont Park East would have access getting <br />to the school. This would be an extension of Catlett. <br />Mr. Owen replied that it is best not to have items in revenue <br />sharing that would require going out for bids, due to the require- <br />ments of the Bacon-Davis Act being so strict that it would cost <br />more than the funds to be allocated. Mr. Matuszak str.ated that he <br />realized that, but the request still stood. <br />Councilperson Westergren would like to see us look into pro- <br />viding sewage to those people on West D adjacent to the airport. <br />She recognized the fact that it could not be done with revenue <br />• sharing funds, but perhaps the funds could be used to purchase <br />street materials or other types of material, then some of that <br />money could be used to do the sewage. <br /> <br />~ ~ <br />
